Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ukexpat (talk) 19:46, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

reply: RE: "Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted." I created a page???

Note: The page I created wasn't a "test." It was apparently flagged and removed before I was even aware of its having been subject to speedy deletion. As soon as I read that it was, I posted reasons why it ought to be maintained as a stub page. Now, I'd like to appeal the page's removal and have it restored. There was a valid and reasonable ground for the creation of a page for "Thomas Whitfield Baldwin" and the ground remains worthy today. Wikipedia should be a place where readers find not only articles about things which are widely-known but also about topics (and people) which are (undeservedly) little known.

Speedy deletion nomination of Thomas Whitfield Baldwin
Hello Proximity1,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Thomas Whitfield Baldwin for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

 * Hi. There's no reason to email another editor for a simple matter like this. Please read WP:GNG and WP:SCHOLAR. His cite count would not come close to passing Scholar, although he did have a single book with a decent cite count. When you post a very short stub, with little or no referencing, it most likely will be removed. After you read the two above policies/guidelines, and feel that Baldwin meets or surpasses those criteria, contact the admin who deleted the article and ask him to restore it, and then you can work on it. I'm not an admin, so I can't do that.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:12, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Unusual comments
Hello Proximity1. Some of your comments at Talk:Shakespeare authorship question suggest that you may not be familiar with how Wikipedia works. In particular, your efforts to ensure that an external link to politiciworm.com is added to the article may cause concern among administrators that you might be engaged in promotional editing. Some of your responses in that thread are less than civil: "I would be ashamed to offer such flimsy excuses.." and "..smoke-screen pseudo-arguments devoid of merit."  In the past, articles about Shakespeare authorship have been the target of enthusiastic newcomers to Wikipedia who are eager to set the record straight. You've already been alerted to WP:ARBSAQ per the box above. You should be aware that administrators are prepared to take action if our policies are violated. Let me know if I can answer any questions. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 04:49, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, we have to know that this topic belongs to those which are very closely controlled. A number of editors has already been banned from English Wikipedia, partially completely and forever. So it is of very limited prospect to write about such fringe theories with enthusiasm. Nice weekend, --Zbrnajsem (talk) 20:14, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
